Jackson Jambalaya

That's no way to run a meeting. Board members and audience members having direct dialogue and board members going back and forth without being recognized. So unprofessional totally out of control.

Makes the Hinds County supervisor meetings look like a British tea.

Every one of them should be removed from office. I know that Jones and Baxter aren't really the problem, but the Madison County BOS is just ridiculous. Its time to start with a clean slate.

Jones is crazy.

Hinds County? Heck, their meetings weren't this bad when Kenny Stokes was on there.

You don't know what you are talking about @11:56 so spare us the BS.

Drain the Swamp!

Jones is batshit crazy!!! Gerald is a lot of things, crook, rude, etc.... but Jones, Jones is a nut!

This is all Rudy’s fault!!! He is responsible for the way these meetings are conducted.

Madison County BOS may have problems but I didn't see anyone walking out of the meeting to deny quorum when they saw their side was going to lose a vote (see Stokes, Kenneth).

As for this meeting, Jones is correct that Steen's comment was inappropriate. She's wrong that it was a slap at women. It was a slap at attorneys in general and Jones in particular.

As for Steen, he has lied to his constituents so many times that I have no expectation of truth coming from him.

It looks like Jones is tired of the disrespect of Steen and will bringing to his attention publicly. There is nothing wrong with that.

If Steen spoke to me like that I would do the same thing.

Steen, Bishop and Griffin don't have a college degree between them but are in charge a $100 million budget.

Please note the obvious gender baiting... "...Did you hear this? This man is talking to a woman..." (*pregnant pause*) "...so disrespectfully and half of the county is women is totally inappropriate and he needs to stop."

Wow, Mrs. Jones...he addressed you as "the attorney" and you just can't stand on your merits but have to pull the woman card when Mr. Steen questioned your abilities as an attorney. #FeminismEpicFail

I don't know Jones personally, but I am in full agreement with her on this. Gerald Steen is a complete jack*ss. He thought he could throw his little snarky comment in and keep moving. He and Ken Heard, his former Ridgeland Board buddy, are cut from the same cloth. They talk out of both sides of their mouth, catering to the audience/constituency in front of them and will stab you in the back in a heartbeat. It will be a great day for Ridgeland and Madison County when they are both out.

Steen has always been disrespectful of anybody that disagrees with him, be it the public at the podium or another board member, especially a female. It took a female to finally have the balls to call him out. However, he won't change. He thinks it's cute.

The posts of Rudy and John Bell (above) are, however, acknowledged.

Madison County........too much MONEY...........not enough BRAINS!

I'll have to stay out of TCUN (The County Up North). Man, do they have issues!

I'm thankful I live in TCDS (The County Down South) - i.e., Rankin - where we have no problems, life is good and the living is easy, we all get along, and everything is perfect. (Now cue the theme song to The Beverly Hillbillies.)

right on 4:45 - Niknar County; Mississippi's leading county in meth production, dope busts and freezers on the roadside for garbage containers. Rock On Camarro owners. And stay the hell over yonder across the reservoir. Those 'Tag Applied For' things will get your ass busted over here.

Jackson/Hinds County has had its issues but under Lumumba’s leadership we are trending up. Madison has peaked and is going to start its decline soon. Rankin County is full of meth and rednecks. Never was much hope for that place. I’ll just stay in Jackson where our community is coming together and we are beginning to rebuild this great city. The future is bright in the capital city and I can’t wait for the day when all of the white flighting, country club crackers want to start flooding back into the city. Maybe Lumumba should draft some contingency plans for a wall.

Wow JFT, wow! Out of all your liberal delusional posts this one takes the cake.

Jackson/Hinds County has had its issues but under Lumumba’s leadership we are trending up.

Complete BS. He hasn't been in office long enough to reverse any trend.

Baxter and Jones both ran for office opposing the Lake to nowhere. Last month, they both voted to fund the Lake to Nowhere. They both lied to the people who voted for them. Jones is bat crazy and Baxter calls Jackson for instructions.

I don't know who Tyrion is but if this yahoo is indicative of his "cause" then there is little or no truth in said cause.

8:11; You know as well as anybody that the only way Jones and Baxter could crack the Steen, Bishop, Griffin deadlock was to give Griffin a stick of candy. By doing so, not only do the citizens of the county benefit in road improvements, but it blew Bishop and Steen out of the water and taught them a lesson in plain ole politics. Enjoy that shoe being on the other foot. Hurts don't it?

Did poor little sheila weila Get her feelings hurt?

Gerald stung her ass with a quick quip....and she caved like a cheap pant suit.

Grow up and fight back or shit your pie hole.

And stop with this bs issue of closing an office a few minutes early so workers can be with family you tyrant.

Paul Griffin may win again, but not with my vote again. I live in his district, but do not think he knows. The only part of his district that concerns him is Camden. New walking trails, lakes, and nepotism reigns supreme. Shoot if I could get out my pot-holed road without knocking my tires out of alignment or drooping off in a ditch where the shoulder has caved in, I might go say 40 miles to see his lake.

I have worked with Gerald in his position with Morris/Sprintmart for years in the past. I can tell you that without a doubt I found him to be a first class DICK HEAD. It is all about Gerald, he enjoys putting people down and being the smartest person in the room (not).

9:20 you are right when I worked with the Milk Man several years ago his fellow managers couldn't stand the guy.

Does he stock chips in service stations? Steen has a real problem with telling the truth and seems to not be able to respect the opinions of others. I don’t think I have ever witnessed an individual with so much disgust for professional women. I have heard he only made though the 12th grade but some how has become an expert on almost evething. Special Guy!

"And stop with this bs issue of closing an office a few minutes early so workers can be with family"

You really should get your narrative straight. The note taped to the door said nothing about 'time with family'. The note claimed the closure was necessitated by the fact that the State Department of Revenue was closed in Jackson. Those two paid hours could have been better utilized by giving each of them a rag and a squirt bottle of Windex.

But, this thread is about a narcissistic man who can't stand women, especially one who is educated.

Wow guys, I have not seen Gerald in a while. He is getting obese! Comment regarding the post by "8:10 AM": It is offensive to all. What crass comments you made and reveals a bunch of anger. If you cannot conduct yourself in a more adult manner, I suggest JJ censor you. Truly the thoughts of an angry and immature man. Certainly possible that your "pee hole" is only in use for urinating.

Steen and Bishop are a lot alike in multiple ways. Desire for power. Feelings of superiority. Uneducated beyond high school. Mediocre work background. Really really lucky to have slid into public office - one with three votes and the other with a few over 20. Like to play dress up on Board day and strut around the county buildings. Both need every nickle this job provides in order pay bills. Both are for sale.

But, the new one that's revealed here and in other situations is this: They will size you up quickly. Either you're an ally or an enemy. Either you're weak enough to attack or they better stand clear. Either you can be belittled at the podium or they might not oughta take the risk. Either they can sling insults your way and get away with it, or they can't. Sometimes they miscalculate as in this instance. Methinks Steen let his hummingbird mouth overload his jaybird ass.

I've never known what Gerald Steen does for a 'living' outside of his courthouse job that he barely won. I've seen reference to gas stations and milk man but don't know what that means. Can somebody tell me what his profession/occupation is.

Isn't Steen a VP at Sprintmart in Ridgeland?

No wonder he's so easy on tons of new Convenience Stores taking over Gluckstadt.

Steen is all about commercial growth, which is fair enough, but is NOT always the best decision for the area it affects.

Steen or Bishop don't have to deal with the influx going or coming to where they live down their quaint cozy roads.

Who has Gerald Steen disrespected this week?
